The drouth which has prevailed in this
city for the past five weeks was broken
last Thursday afternoon, and since then
it has rained at intervals night and day.
The rain seems to have been a general
one, and much damage has been done to
the growing crops, especially those on
bottom lands, in various sections of the
country. In Anderson County all the
streams have been very high, but we have
heard Of no extensive damage to the crops.

A three.year-old daughter Of Mr.. James
Anderson, of Savannah Township, was
accidentally drowned on last Saturday
afternoon. A heavy rain had fallen, and
the little girl, with several other children,
had gotten permission to go down to the
spring branch, near the house, to see the
stream, which was considerably swollen.
By some means the little one got into the
water, and in twinkling was swept down
the stream. The other children immedi-
ately notified Mr.. Anderson, who ran
down the stream for two hundred yards
OF more, endeavoring to get glimpse of
his little one, but she had been carried by
the rushing waters farther than that, and
it was an hour before her lifeless form was
found. Mr.. and Mrs. Anderson have the
sympathies Of many friends in this sad
bereavement.
Col. John G. Clinkscales and G. Ward
law, Esq, spent last Saturday and Sunday
in Brushy Creek Township. They went
to fill an appointment for Col. Clinkscales
to make speech on Prohibition at Be-
thesda. Church Saturday afternoon at 4
o'clock. notwithstanding the rain, they
had crowded house of the best citizen
ship Of the vicinity. 1t is said that the
Colonel made one of his best efforts,
which was listened to with interest by
the audience. AT the conclusion of his
speech Mr.. Wardlaw made one of his
most enthusiastic speeches. They report
crops as very fine and promising, but the
recent rains have damaged the bottom
corn and caused the cotton to throw off
some of its fruit The people of Brushy
Creek are witnessing an era of prosperity
not equalled in many years past. Whether
the prohibitionists get majority Of the
votes in this Township or not, one thing
may be said as true, they have majority
of the intelligence and wealth of the
Township on their side. We hope to get
a favorable report from Brushy Creek on
the 18th of this month.

not represented at all until j. G. Clink-
scales went to Easley Friday afternoon
from Williamson, after the close of the
Teachers Institute.
